exclusively for ChangeLawyers alumni
Hey, does money stress you out? You’re not the only one.
Growing up, many of us were raised in homes where money was both a source of stress and something we were never really allowed to talk about. This is especially true for first-generation lawyers and law students. The result is a lack of financial knowledge, unresolved trauma, and no idea how to build generational wealth.
ChangeLawyers has teamed up with Dr. Joaquin Wallace, a financial literacy expert and founder of the Generational Wealth Model, on a three-part series to help you start your financial healing journey.
Each part is important, so please make sure to attend all three workshops.
Part 1 will focus on understanding your past—the sources of your anxiety. Part 2 will focus on your present—healing your trauma and gaining knowledge. Part 3 will focus on your future, and teach you how to build a wealth legacy that you can pass on.
